Cultural Heritage
The ancient veneration of Sri Pada, or Adam's Peak, traces its roots to millennia-old indigenous traditions, long before the formal establishment of major faiths. Early inhabitants, the Veddha people, revered the mountain as Samanalakanda, associating it with the guardian deity Saman, whose sanctity predates later religious layers. A pivotal moment in its historical trajectory occurred in the 3rd century BCE with the patronage of King Devanampiya Tissa, a contemporary of Emperor Ashoka, who played a crucial role in the introduction and institutionalization of Buddhism in Sri Lanka. The *Mahawamsa* chronicles the Buddha's visit to the peak, thereby sanctifying it as a primary Buddhist pilgrimage site and firmly integrating it into the broader Indic spiritual landscape, establishing a profound connection that would endure for centuries. Subsequent centuries witnessed significant royal patronage and infrastructure development that solidified Sri Pada's status as a major pilgrimage destination. King Vijayabahu I (1055–1110 CE), following the Chola period, undertook extensive efforts to restore and develop the pilgrimage route, establishing rest houses (ambalamas) and making the arduous ascent more accessible for devotees. Later, King Nissanka Malla (1187–1196 CE) of Polonnaruwa further enhanced the site, undertaking a grand royal pilgrimage and commissioning inscriptions that attest to its paramount importance. By the 14th century, its international renown was such that the Moroccan explorer Ibn Battuta documented his challenging ascent in 1344 CE, providing invaluable external testimony to the site's global significance and the deep devotion it inspired across diverse cultures.
